A number of reports indicate Microsoft's upcoming Xbox 720 (Next) console will be saddled with an "always on, always connected design" that supposedly allows users to "quickly and easily enjoy their connected entertainment experiences, with no waiting for the console to restart or install updates."

Interestingly, at least two independent sources recently confirmed the above-mentioned report (originating on VGLeaks this past March) to Kotaku, noting the console will be an always-online system, albeit one that is capable of tolerating dropped connections.
